This is my 'playa punch' recipe. I've had a million drinks called that, of course. Here's my spin.

The amounts are totally variable. Mix until you get it right.
Mango juice (you can get this bottled)
Pineapple juice
Sunny Delight (I hate it, but it's what we had when this was invented)
Light Rum
Spiced Rum
Vodka
Tiny bit of triple sec

I mixed up about a gallon and a half of this stuff a couple years ago and filled up boda bags with it and everyone went their various way. We all got back HOURS later with excellent stories of drunken debauchery. It's a hard hitter.

A few suggestions:
a) I prefer spiced rum (don't use more or it will mask the other flavors) but I imagine if you used a more subtle flavor like coconut or vanilla you could probably put in more;
b) Try adding any of the following to change it up: unsweetened dark chocolate syrup, creme de mint, vanilla extract, amaretto, almond extract, butterscotch schnapps, coffee

Jade Kiss:
tall glass with ice
lavish shot of Tuaca
fill to an inch short of top with ginger ale*
top with, no kidding, 1/2" Rose's* Lime Juice
aArnish with a lime slice, stir gently and you have summertime in a glass

You can also make it with coke if real ginger ale is not available, then it's a Tigerlily.

*Ginger ale needs to be the real stuff, not that "bar ginger ale" crap that's a mix of coke and sprite. If you don't have real ginger ale, please make a Tigerlily.

*Doesn't need to be Rose's brand specifically, that Major Whatsisname stuff works fine.

We do a lot of back yard entertaining around our pool. Although everyone getting ripped in the first 30 minutes can lead to naked fun, we often prefer a way to help people still drink a lot, yet be able to walk.

One simple way we've found is to turn any popular rocks or shot drink into a highball by adding club soda, ice and a touch more mixer.

Apple martinis, fruit shots....we've had tons of success doing this. Same alcohol content in a nice fizzy concoction that is very, very refreshing in the sun!

This is a simple one, have never met anyone who doesnt like it, i even like it and i dont have a sweet tooth. Mix half frangelico, and half vodka in a large shotglass/small tumbler. Roll a small lemon wedge in sugar, take the shot then bite the lemon. It has almost the exact same taste and even texture as german chocolate cake.

Can I batch mix large amounts of drinks - like sours, screwdrivers, etc and have it be ok hours later if kept chilled? We envision a 50-60 gallon glass vessel we use in the lab for fermenting as a drink vessel, with a cololing loop of RSW running through it. Since were lazy, and want to keep a buzz on this seems like a good way to go.

Never tried before was wondering if anyone has.

Figment has a Kamakazi recipe that he can mix in a 5 gallon bucket and it's always yummy never had to keep too long though hehehe
